Cement industry in India

Last Updated: November 2013

Introduction
India is the second largest producer of cement in the world. The production of cement in India has increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7 per cent to reach 272 million tonnes (MT) in the period 2006–2013. It is expected to touch 407 MT by 2020.

India's potential in infrastructure is vast. It has the capacity to become the world's third largest construction market by 2025, adding 11.5 million homes a year to become a US$ 1 trillion a year market, according to a study by Global Construction Perspectives and Oxford Economics. This opens up a tremendous window of opportunity for the country’s cement industry.

Notwithstanding its current position one of the leaders in cement production, India’s riches in the sector remain somewhat untapped. “Lafarge's India business has been very successful and the country is among the top 10 markets globally for Lafarge. But going forward, we should rank higher because of the potential of the Indian market,” says Mr Martin Kriegner, CEO of the Indian branch of the world’s largest cement manufacturer, Lafarge.

Market Size
The Indian cement sector is expected to witness positive growth in the coming years, with demand set to increase at a CAGR of more than 8 per cent in the period FY 2013-14 to FY 2015-16, according to the latest report titled ‘Indian Cement Industry Outlook 2016’ by market research consulting firm RNCOS. The report further observed that India’s southern region is creating the maximum demand for cement, which is expected to increase more in future.

The cement and gypsum products sector has attracted foreign direct investments (FDI) worth US$ 2,656.29 million in the period April 2000–August 2013, according to data published by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP).

Investments

• Prism Cement Ltd has become the first Indian company to get the Quality Council of India's (QCI) certification for its ready-mix concrete (RMC) plant in Kochi, Kerala. The company received the certification from Institute for Certification and Quality Mark (ICQM), a leading Italian certification body authorised to oversee QCI compliance.
• UltraTech Cement, an Aditya Birla Group Company, has acquired the 4.8 million tonne per annum (MTPA) Gujarat unit of Jaypee Cement Corp for Rs 3,800 crore (US$ 595.61 million).
• ACC Ltd plans to invest Rs 3,000 crore (US$ 470.22 million) to expand its capacity by nearly 4 MT a year in three eastern region states, over the next three years.
• Reliance Cements Co Pvt Ltd will set up a 3 MTPA grinding unit at an estimated cost of Rs 600 crore (US$ 94.04 million). The unit is likely to come up at Raghunathpur in Purulia, West Bengal.
• Reliance Cement Co, a special purpose vehicle (SPV) of Reliance Infrastructure Ltd, is commissioning its first 5 MTPA plant in Madhya Pradesh. The project has been implemented at a cost of approximately Rs 3,000 crore (US$ 470.22 million).
• Zuari Cement plans to set up a cement grinding unit at Auj (Aherwadi) and Shingadgaon villages in Solapur, Maharashtra. The new unit will have a production capacity of 1 MTPA and is expected to be operational by the second quarter of 2015.
• JSW Steel has acquired Heidelberg Cement India's 0.6 MTPA cement grinding facility in Raigad, Maharashtra, for an undisclosed amount.

very very bad.........cant the indians produce their own cement!

We have keep our resources within our country. For our future.

Cement is not a resource , its a manufactured product that needs to be sold to get money and keep the factories moving. It cannot be stored beyond a point either.

India has enough Cement plants but the pace at which the infrastructure is galloping , it needs more & much more.

Like all other nations India too would want to conserve its own resources & buy while it can.

The gestation period between setting up a plant and it going commercial is long , till then import is the best option.

Lastly, the transportation costs from a Cement plant say in Lahore or Multan to Punjab / Haryana is way less than from MP or Chattisgarh.

I am asking for last and final time, please give us a link to the scheme you are talking about (being implemented in the 'west'). MFN is political and not based on any standard mechanism you mentioned.
I am not against your idea though, I quite like it.[/quote

I will research for the link and give it to you. Europe and America do their trading based on standardized mechanism. At the end it is all political. International trade, environmental laws and off sourcing of resources are all political.

Nice to see Pakistan fallinng in line

In Pakistan all the international trade is based personal contacts. Politicians are making decisions just like some nawabs.
Standardized mechanism protects you from any sort of foul play from other countries. Other countries also know that they have to make certain standard to be in your market.
Europe has a certain amount of textile which they need every year, that is their textile demand. With that demand in their mind they have allocated textile quotas to different. There was a time when Pakistan was exporting textile products . The time came, they just lowered the Pakistan rating and Pakistan loosed the textile quota from Europe. At the end it is all political. They did not want to empower Pakistan. But one thing is for sure, they work for their own national benefit. In Pakistan whole system work for the benefit of some politician.
At the end south Asian region should make their own market. This is better for whole region.

It is a source and we r losing mountains..........

If indians have cement of their own so its better to use it yrself....if demand is more so simply produce more........simple formula of demand and supply.

Pakistan needs more guys like you.

LOL kiddo we r still way better then u..........we dont need u in a long run but u do need us.

Bhai jaan.... Kabhi tho dang se socha karooo...... Pakistan is going to benefited from export of cement to India..... But then if you are belong to the catagory of HZ then i do understand your post and its context.......

Dont tell us what is in our benefits or not. Who r u to even say that??
We r the citizens and Natives of this Country and we know that is best and whats not!
If we r to export something to the indians i want them to export something meaningful like electronic good, industrial products. The resources r the things that r of Pakistan and for people of this country! And where ever a resource is found the first right over it is from its natives and people of the land from where it is found!

 

[MohitV]

..........we dont need u in a long run but u do need us.

pakistan has a trade deficit to india ....of about 6 billion dollars

Look...study some geopolitics....

We r a smaller nation with less hungry mouths to feed in comparison to u.
The only thing we want is money to setup an industrial base larger one in our country.....Once it is done we can stand in our own feet thats all. But u need us in a longer run for effective land based trade routes to support yr economy and its pace......With sea routes its pace cant be maintained...... U need fast track train cargo setup for that. China is one example for it who does that. Hence her long dependence on us and we take leverages from her like no other can!

Yr dreams of a power of regional level cant be accomplished without us let alone global power. So in a long run u r dependent on us not we atleast to that much extent.
